Best Decision I Ever Made

I just wanted to recognize you for once again providing great service and prompt payment of claims. I continue to be amazed at the ease of your claims process and the speed with which claims are paid. I have heard so many people complain about their pet insurance companies and I have to say that I have truly been delighted with Pets Best. I've been with you for four or five years now and I couldn't be happier with the rates or coverage. In a world where most products and services fall far short of delivering what is promised, you consistently exceed my expectations with every interaction. As part of the animal rescue community, I am often asked about pet insurance and I recommend you to everyone I know!!

Excellent

I'll say what is near and dear to my heart - reimbursement. Yes and Pets Best Insurance is unbelievably fast. One day turn around. Amazing. They are very fair. The policies are one of the best, if not the best. I researched several and have been very happy with my choice.

So Much Help and Compassion

I have covered three cats with Pets Best, starting in 2008. Each year since, I have submitted claims, and each time, my claim was settled fairly and quickly. I have never once had to argue with them to get my claim settled, and each time I have contacted them with questions, they have been extremely helpful.They saw one of my cat's through a hyperactive thyroid, intestinal lymphoma, and a number of smaller ailments. When he sadly succumbed to the lympoma last summer, the staff was so caring, and the card they sent was lovely. It has been such a comfort to me to know that I can provide my pets with the care they need without having to worry about the finances. I highly recommend Pets Best.

Extortion!

I've had this insurance for over 5 years...been paying them hundreds of dollars a year for all that time. They are good in terms of responding to claims, but in my case I paid far more for the insurance than I got back from them (thank God my dog has been healthy). Suddenly they change underwriters and my premiums change from $51 per month to $138 per month. So all these years I've been paying for coverage, now when my dog is older and I really need the coverage, they make the premiums unaffordable. Save your money, put some away each month, and pay for your vet bills yourself. I'd be in a much better position now if I'd done that instead of giving them money for all these years.
